Animorphs - Group of teen-age superheroes who
change ("morph") into animals on the Scholastic Productions science
fiction series ANIMORPHS/SYN/1998-1999.

Based on the popular kids books Animorphs written by K.A.
Applegate in 1996, the Animorphs battle the evil Yeerks, a parasitic species
from a distant planet who invade a host's brain and turn them into zombie-like
robots called "Controllers."

To battle the threat of the Yeerks, a dying alien
named Elfangor, a prince of the Andalites (who crash-landed on Earth) gave
several
children the power to morph so they could prevent the invading Yeerks from enslaving every human
being on the planet.

The Animorphs can become any animal they touch and use
their energy and instincts to resist the invading aliens. The Animorph members
consist of Shawn Ashmore as Jake; Brooke Nevin as Rachel; Boris Cabrera as
Marco; Nadia-Leigh Nascimento as Cassie; Christopher Ralph as Tobias; and Pauolo
Costanzo as Ax.
